Unpopular Opinion: Kobolds are cool and should be made as a playable race

This is something that I thought I’d never write unless threatened with a large harpoon launcher.
However, in this expansion the Kobolds are portrayed incredibly well, shown as being about the same height as a Gnome, living in these tiny “apartment blocks” made of candle et cetera, with their ulterior motive being nothing other than getting candle.

What an amazing idea for a new neutral race, however different from the Pandas and the scaleys in the sense that even though they act super friendly they are not your friend or your true ally, but will just act like it for the sake of candle. Their true loyalty is candle. This is more like a third faction.
Also they should have exclusivity in regards to some perks to make them feel special to play, such as being able to enter these tiny Kobold structures in the Ringing Deeps, while other players shouldn’t be able to if they tried.

I also like the Mushroom people. The way that they vocalize their nonsense yelps, giggles, et cetera and the way they talk to you if you click them where you get quotes like “We can see you, hehehe” etc.
I really like the Kombucha Mushroom People.
Am I alone?
I don’t feel alone.

Ok we put gnolls and ogre and now we can have candle?

Your words are spoken true and honest, paladin brother and sisterhood is honored to have you. I salute you Paladin Nim :saluting_face:

Please, no more playable races just for the sake of it. Even when they have been introduced there are some you hardly ever see.

I like them fine, but I don’t have a desire to play as one.

I’d much rather see something like Ethereals or Naga added if we get another ‘inhuman’ race.

Well, as all are listing their races Ill say my candidate aswell then, I would like have the tortollan race from bfa.

TWW Kobolds are just as bad as any other TWW race.

Agreed!

Their classes are also explorer, hunter, mystic, scrollsage, soothsayer, warrior so with a high chance you could have explorer hunter and I could have scrollsage caster of some sort :dracthyr_a1:

duuude you know what is so funny?
killing someone in arena or duel with a Kobold paladin and having one of my epic weapons in the hand.
just being a high ranked pvp paladin as a kobold is disrespectful alone now imagine if they add a emote that you can Light the candle on your head with a match when your standing near your enemy corpse :joy: :rofl: :joy:
